The Festival for European Solidarity will mark the 35th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall. According to the organizers from the Cultural Centre of the University of St. Kliment Ohridski and the Reading and Culture Centre association, the festival, which opens today, is a mosaic of cultural, artistic, public and academic events backed by state, educational and scientific institutions, embassies, cultural institutes and publishers.

The first event is dedicated to a discussion on the book "Lost Kingdom. A History of Russian Nationalism from Ivan III the Great to Vladimir Putin" by Serhii Plokhy, a professor of Ukrainian history at Harvard and director of the Harvard Ukrainian Research Institute. He traces the development of this historical process over nearly 600 years, from the emergence of the independent Moscow state to the annexation of Crimea.

"Walls" is the thematic focus of the festival, as well as the topic of an international conference within the forum featuring scholars from Oxford University, the Franco-German Marc Bloch Research Center in Berlin, and other research institutes.
